Cook ruled out of one-day clash

Alastair Cook will miss England's second one-day international against New Zealand at Edgbaston with a shoulder injury.

The Essex opening batsman has been struggling with a right shoulder problem since England's victory in the final Test at Trent Bridge, missing his country's Twenty20 international victory at Old Trafford and Sunday's win at Chester-le-Street.

Middlesex left-hander Andrew Strauss will join the squad for the Edgbaston clash as cover.

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori challenged his side to go on and win the Champions Trophy tournament later this year after they sealed a 3-1 one-day series victory against England here at Lord's.
The Black Caps, five times World Cup semi-finalists without ever reaching the final itself, last won a major international one-day tournament when triumphing in the 2000 Champions Trophy, 'the mini World Cup', in Kenya.

LONDON (Reuters) - Stand-in captain Kevin Pietersen on Saturday blamed England's batsmen for their 3-1 defeat to New Zealand in the one-day series, which ended with a meek 51-run loss in the fifth match at Lord's on Saturday.
England, who won the test series convincingly 2-0, started the one-day matches strongly with a 114-run victory when Pietersen scored a match-winning century and grabbed the headlines with his unique switch-hitting.

Shane Warne said Paul Collingwood would be known as the man who "did not show the right sportsmanship" after his failure to withdraw a run-out appeal against New Zealand.
England one-day captain Collingwood's decision to persist with an appeal against Grant Elliott, following the New Zealand all-rounder's failure to make his ground after being knocked over accidentally by bowler Ryan Sidebottom, sparked an angry response from the furious Black Caps.

Geoff Miller, England's national selector, said Friday there was no reason why Paul Collingwood should not return as captain of the England one-day team after his four-game ban.
That International Cricket Council (ICC) suspension, for being in charge of an England team that was twice slow with its over-rate during the past 12 months, starts with Saturday's ODI series finale against New Zealand at Lord's.
